It's That Time Again...

So, it's the middle of October. How did that happen? Seriously, didn't we just have summer vacation? Time is ridiculous.

Anyway, it's the middle of October. I've finished my first draft. I printed it out, I have all the materials I need to start editing, and it's just sitting on my couch, waiting for me. Well, I have news for that sweet little manuscript: it's going to have to wait a bit longer.

I move in exactly eighteen days. I've cleaned out some cupboards and my closet, but that doesn't amount to much. I haven't started packing anything (I don't even have boxes!), but that's about to change. I've made a schedule for me, starting this week, that deals with cleaning and packing and all those other pesky moving things. I won't be working on it all day, every day (OBVIOUSLY), but it does leave me little time to sit down and start editing. So, like I said before, it's going to have to wait a bit longer. How much longer? Well, how about three weeks?

Yes, three weeks.

This gives me plenty of time to pack, clean, and move, without the added hassle of carving time out of my schedule to edit. I don't want to rush it, and I don't want to make (too many) mistakes. It would be best for all involved (i.e., my manuscript and me) if I take some time off to get this apartment packed (plus my boyfriend's condo...YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MANY SHIRTS THAT BOY HAS) and get moved into the new house.

You know what this means, right? Of course you do.

I'm taking a break from this blog (except for one post, and I'll get to that later). Not that I don't have time to write out a quick post or anything, but what am I supposed to talk about if I'm not writing? Tentatively, I'm still doing NaNo in November, so I'll be posting kind of frequently next month, but this month is done. It's over. I'm calling it. I have to be lame and be an adult, and that means being responsible (YUCK), so I'm stepping back for just three weeks. Twenty-one days. Then I'm back.

Except...I do have one little blog post that will be coming up the last week of this month. It's about this amazingly awesome book I read earlier this month and I'll be posting about it. When the time gets closer, I'll let everyone know, and hopefully it'll take the sting away of me being gone for awhile.

I'm going to end this before I embarrass myself further.
